🌮 Birria Tacos and Beyond

Birria tacos and fresh margaritas are the natural opener at Catrina Mexicana, an East 116th Street Mexican restaurant in Manhattan. The welcoming room pairs warm, inviting service with a kitchen that sends plates out piping hot.

From there, the menu widens. Sizzling fajitas arrive with all the trimmings, crispy shrimp tostadas add crunch, and chile rellenos give you another main to build the meal around. Pour a Victoria beer alongside, then save room for tres leches cake to finish, the sweet close after the savory plates are cleared. Attentive staff keep things moving without hovering, and the prices stay reasonable.

The restaurant at 163 East 116th Street opens at 11 AM daily. It closes at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday, room for a late plate of birria tacos after a weekend night out.
